Rogue One was great and IMHO, Andor is the best Star Wars ever made. I understand how someone could be pessimistic after RoS being so unwatchably bad it makes Phantom Menace seem like elite cinema with exquisite writing, but you're really missing out if you haven't seen Andor and Rogue One.

Microsoft has that covered. Go try getting people to take the steps needed to run an unsigned driver, and live with various games and DRM'd crap refusing to run while the mode is active. You have to reboot, trigger the advanced boot menu, then choose to disable signature enforcement for the entire system, every time can't make it persistent, and must have SecureBoot disabled.
Now granted malware etc can evade that, but typically only by exploiting a loaded signed driver... no chance anything doing that doesn't get flagged.
I've been warning for years the existing cert extortion racket wasn't going to stay limited to drivers.

What, did they refuse to pay the charity defrauding, child raping, insurrection committing convicted felon in chief a big enough cut of the profits? Or just accidentally hit one of his cronies? Owner better hope he hid enough away to purchase a pardon... they're surprisingly affordable though. You'd think a president selling out his country would charge more than a few million for a pardon... alas i guess he really needs the gallons of spray tan.

Video could come out of Trump raping toddlers, he could respond by saying 'yes that's real they wanted it and were lucky to get it', and not only would he never go to prison, he wouldn't lose any support. Thinking otherwise after everything that's happened in the last 10 years is just deluding yourself.

50 years is extreme bullshit. Copyright was originally 14y with one renewal, in a time where instant global communication didn't exist and literacy was limited. Where there was no mass production. It's insane to claim it's ridiculous to suggest anything less than almost twice that.
You clearly think the purpose of copyright is for you to get to rent seek your creation for your entire life, but that's not the purpose.
Oh and did you forget where you are or is the copyrighted code most people here write inferior to whatever the fuck you make?

I get the stupid stuff and posted a funny example... but.. Emojis are just Unicode code points. If you're going to allow Unicode, should you arbitrarily disallow certain ranges/glyphs because they're in a list of those assigned to emojis? What if more are added... should the compiler download lists? Or should code always have to be the Latin alphabet and symbols on keyboard? I'd say allowing Unicode is fine and it's up to developers not to be jackasses with it.

Thanks to the Monaco editor (also used by VSCode) and twinBASIC, a language in development backwards compatible with VB6... that can also be used to write kernel mode drivers... I'll add some to my next driver project, see how many aneurysms I can cause with emoji-filled BASIC running in km. Abomination!

"Extreme far left"... where "far left" is anything short of the outright fascism of the US right and extreme far left is the rest of the world's moderate. Fuck off. Don't need to lie about right wing extremism to make the point there's a bunch of rich hypocrites in Hollywood.
